Inspector Spratling of the Metropolitan Police's J Division came to take down a report of the, at the time, unidentified victim, and he discovered the woman had been disembowelled, in addition to the awful throat wound. She was loaded into a police ambulance and sent to the nearby Whitechapel Workhouse Infirmary mortuary within 45 minutes.The woman's throat had been slashed all the way down to her spine, and the wound was so serious that it had practically severed her head from her body, according to some press accounts. At 3.45 a.m., a woman's body was discovered close to a gateway at Buck's Row, just off Whitechapel Road, on 31 August.As she was escorted from the premises by the deputy lodging-house housekeeper, Polly poked fun at him, "See what a jolly bonnet I have now". Mary was wearing a bonnet that none of the other residents of the lodging house had seen her in before, and since she was clearly intending to rely on prostitution in order to raise enough money for her bed, she felt that this would be an attraction to entice potential clients.Mary Nichols was referred to as an "unfortunate" at the time, a woman who, in the absence of a welfare system to assist individuals who had fallen on hard times, may turn to prostitution to generate money for a bed, a bite to eat, and alcohol to feed her addiction.Later that day, she was recognised as Mary Ann Nichols, also known as "Polly" Nichols by her family, friends, and acquaintances. The horribly mutilated body of a woman was discovered in a gateway in Buck's Row in Whitechapel on 31 August 1888.
